I am a public library

I did not enter the Labour Party 47 years ago to have our manifesto written by Dr Mori, Dr Gallup and Mr Harris

In the end, the tragedy of Harold Wilson was that you couldn't believe a word he said

The crisis that we inherit when we come to power will be the occasion for fundamental change and not the excuse for postponing it

Change from below, the formulation of demands from the populace to end unacceptable injustice, supported by direct action, has played a far larger part in shaping British democracy than most constitutional lawyers, political commentators, historians or statesmen have ever cared to admit. Direct action in a democratic society is fundamentally an educational exercise.

We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.

Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. And then he wins the world peace prize and becomes president of South Africa. That's how change happens. It's very important not to differentiate protest from the democratic process.
